[v8,2/3] x86/mce: Add per-bank CMCI storm mitigation
Commit Message
This is the core functionality to track CMCI storms at the
machine check bank granularity. Subsequent patches will add
the vendor specific hooks to supply input to the storm
detection and take actions on the start/end of a storm.
Maintain a bitmap history for each bank showing whether the bank
logged an corrected error or not each time it is polled.
In normal operation the interval between polls of this banks
determines how far to shift the history. The 64 bit width corresponds
to about one second.
When a storm is observed a CPU vendor specific action is taken to reduce
or stop CMCI from the bank that is the source of the storm. The bank
is added to the bitmap of banks for this CPU to poll. The polling rate
is increased to once per second. During a storm each bit in the history
indicates the status of the bank each time it is polled. Thus the history
covers just over a minute.
Declare a storm for that bank if the number of corrected interrupts
seen in that history is above some threshold (defined as 5 in this
series, could be tuned later if there is data to suggest a better
value).
A storm on a bank ends if enough consecutive polls of the bank show
no corrected errors (defined as 30, may also change). That calls the
CPU vendor specific function to revert to normal operational mode,
and changes the polling rate back to the default.
Updated with review comments from Yazen.

Note that the storm begin/end warnings are now printed using
printk_deferred(KERN_NOTICE ...) instead of pr_notice. This
is my solution for a locking issue when in poll mode because
of the "cmci_poll_lock" introduced by:
commit c3629dd7e67d ("x86/mce: Prevent duplicate error records")
Is this the right way to handle this?
